    These are all really good. I've been a bookworm for almost a year now, reading novels almost every day. At first, I did read a lot of novels with clairvoyance, divine doctors, and kings of soldiers, but later I learned to be more selective. These are all really good. As for "Senior Brother, Don't Be a Wimp," this is just my personal opinion. Because the author's previous book, "Treasure Hunt with My Cute Pet," was excellent, I also think "Senior Brother, Don't Be a Wimp" is very good.
